    I'm an older videogame player that really enjoyed the movie, so I wanted to play on my PSP. The game is a real hoot and I highly recommend it for Ghostbuster fans. The character interaction is funny and fulfilling. The controls aren't bad, but once again we are reminded that the PSP needs a second stick on the right side. Ghostbuster fan? GET IT!

    It's basically the same game as the PS2/Wii version, which is a stripped down version of the Xbox 360 and PS3 version. The game would be fine except the controls kill it. It's a weird combination of auto-aim and using the buttons to control your reticle. If they could have done a better job on the controls, this would have been a grand game.

    Ghostbusters is a really boring game, with just a little of fan service. Visuals hiccups, environment poor of details, and to repetitive gameplay. If you can choose, should go on next-gen versions, this porting is very bad.

    Just a bit buggered. [Issue#188, p.82]

    A mediocre port of a merely decent original entry, resulting in a functional but hardly enticing take on the series. PSP action fans are probably used to this second-class status by now, but this one's strictly for the franchise die-hards.
